Let’s just go with it, for now, He Zhichu thought as he crossed his legs on the spacious sofa He glanced at Gu Nianzhi before taking out his phone and calling a nu moment, the other person finally picked up
“Lawyer He, what’s going on? I didn’t expect a call frohtly raspy voice caht she had a natural, lazy charm to her voice
He Zhichu peered at the call tracking location displayed on the phone and looked surprised “You’re not in the Empire?”
“No, I returned to Barbados the day before yesterday” Gu Yanran laid on the bedrooht breeze cool the dayti mood and said, “what is it? Could it be that Lawyer He misses me?”
He Zhichu s, sultry eyes flashed “Of course, I missed you You are our firm’s iggled and tightened the tropical silk robe across her body “Lawyer He, that’s mean You only miss my business, not me?”
“Miss Gu, you’re too polite” He Zhichu’s voice softened He no longer sounded aloof and icy, and Gu Nianzhi noticed that he was much more friendly towards Gu Yanran than others “We’ve known each other for so many years We know each other better than anyone else, in business and personal life”
“I knoouldn’t dare joke with you otherwise” Gu Yanran changed her position on the lounge chair and laid back “Okay, giveon?”
He Zhichu nodded “Okay, I’ll skip the courtesy” He pondered for a few minutes then took out another phone, opened a file, and looked at the screen “Miss Gu, you first becao You authorized us to becoal er sister, Gu Nianzhi Is that correct?”

He Zhichu waited for a long tied her to speak “Miss Gu?”
Gu Yanran snapped out of her thoughts and said quietly, “Seven years ago, my parents had an accident, and I had to rush over to deal with it I left my sister, as 12 at the time, alone in Barbados When she went out to sea, she disappeared I couldn’t find her anywhere Yes, I fully authorized your law firm to help me with the related encies from around the world, and I’ve worked with both the American and Barbadoes police, but I still can’t find hed, and his cold voice carried an indescribable weight “Yes, Miss Gu It’s been al persons, Gu Nianzhi knew there was a huge difference in “seven years have passed” and “almost seven years have passed” In ally deceased when they have beenfor a total of seven years orsister, Gu Nianzhi, was still unsolved, but once the full seven years passed, and she had yet to be found, the case would automatically close, and she would be presumed dead
